Home inspection
From Home Wiki
Home inspections are a recommended part of the buying process. A home inspection may be required prior to getting certain types of loans or mortgages. There are general inspections to assess the overall quality of a home and intended to find any major flaws. There are also specialized inspections to check for specific kinds of issues. Some of the specialized inspections are health or safety inspections, energy efficiency or for pest problems. An energy inspection can help pinpoint ways in which a home is not energy efficient and changes that could be made to save energy and money.
